Because of his excitement, beads of sweat appeared on the wings of Yan Shuhua's nose, and his voice was excited.
"Without Uncle Fan, there would be no me and my mother. Now that Uncle Fan is gone, Zhiqiang, as the head of the family, is under a lot of pressure. In fact, I also hope that he can make further progress. He doesn't have money to buy a camera. If I can win the championship and get this camera, I can give it to him."
Yan Shuhua felt that he had nothing good to give her, and nothing to express his gratitude to him. Now this camera was a kind of gratitude to him.
After all, she got this camera through her own efforts.
"Yeah." Xiao Jinchu nodded. Actually, he originally agreed with Yan Shuhua to participate in the competition, but when he knew where the competition was held, he suddenly didn't want him to go so much.
When Yan Shuhua saw the unnatural expression on Xiao Jinchu's face, she felt it was a bit strange. Before, when she said she didn't want to go, it was Xiao Jinchu who told her to go. Now she really wanted to go, but why did he still have such an expression?
"Jinchu, don't you like me going again?" Yan Shuhua took his arm, very intimately.
Xiao Jinchu likes Yan Shuhua like this. It feels comfortable to put him first.
"How could I not like it? It doesn't matter where you go." Xiao Jinchu smiled, but that smile was not the kind of smile that Yan Shuhua wanted to see.
"I heard that this competition doesn't seem to be held in the capital?" Yan Shuhua initially thought that the competition must be held in the capital, but then he thought about it and it seemed that it was not there. He heard that it was in another place.
If she were to go to Beijing, she didn't want to go there anymore. She also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go somewhere else to have some fun.
"In Luocheng." Xiao Jinchu lowered his voice, with an unnatural expression on his face.
The two words "Luo Cheng" were like a haze in his heart, enveloping him completely in an instant.
The sunshine that was originally shining around him was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and he looked listless.
"So..." Yan Shuhua thought carefully and found that he had come to a very interesting place. "I have always wanted to go to Luocheng. Let's go together this time!"
Xiao Jinchu's face didn't seem to look very good. Yan Shuhua thought that he was a person who liked traveling very much and thought he would be very happy. Unexpectedly, he seemed a little less excited. Yan Shuhua wondered if he was worried about his physical condition.
"I'm in good health now. I can even go up the mountain to fight tigers." After saying this, Yan Shuhua patted his chest confidently.
"It's okay, I'll go with you." Xiao Jinchu nodded slightly.
"How long will the competition last? I don't know what the situation is like." After all, Yan Shuhua was still a little confused about the future. He had never been to Luocheng and had no idea about the situation there.
"The boss said he would wait for us in Luocheng. Since the boss is from Luocheng himself, he will tell us how to get in." Xiao Jinchu had already greeted the boss before, so all the two of them needed to do was go over there.
"Do you want to sign up as well? We can go together." If Xiao Jinchu could also sign up, wouldn't there be two spots for the championship? "Just go and sign up. I'll be your strongest support." Xiao Jinchu raised his hand and patted her shoulder. Yan Shuhua was very moved. "Jinchu, thank you. It's great to have you."
Because he is always by her side, she feels that her future is bright and that everything in front of her is not difficult at all.
When Xiao Jinchu saw how Yan Shuhua depended on him, he was actually really touched. He hoped that Yan Shuhua could depend on him like this for the rest of his life.
As for the place Luocheng, although he never wanted to mention the place name, it has been such a long time now, and he should really get out of the shadow in his heart.
This time it's like letting yourself come back to life.
The distance from Xiaowa Village to Luocheng is indeed quite far, and they have to take the train. However, when they arrived in Luocheng, the boss was already waiting for them there.
At first the boss thought that the two of them might not come, so when he saw them show up, he was particularly excited, as if he was welcoming his own relatives. "If you come this time, I will take you out to have a good time. After all, this is my hometown and I am very familiar with it." Although the boss is fat, his movements are agile, his voice is powerful, and when he smiles, his whole face is covered with thick flesh.
Because he was not afraid of the cold, he only wore three pieces of clothes in this cold winter and a scarf around his neck. He was too fat, so he was out of breath while moving the luggage.
"I have arranged a hotel for the two of you." The boss took them to Luocheng, to the relatively famous Hongqi Hotel, which cost more than ten yuan a night. Perhaps the boss thought that Yan Shuhua would definitely win the championship this time, so he was particularly enthusiastic.
"You said that it was my fate to meet you two, so just consider it as me inviting you out to play this time. It doesn't matter whether you win the championship or not." The boss took the initiative to introduce them to some tourist attractions in Luocheng, as well as some special snacks, and said that if he had time, he would take them to taste the local food.
To them, the boss is a stranger after all, but it is not easy for a stranger to be so enthusiastic.
The boss actually saw that Xiao Jinchu looked very similar to someone, but he just couldn't remember who he was. However, he felt that he must be a very important person, so he wanted to curry favor with both of them. Maybe he really found the right person.
The Hongqi Hotel is a very nice hotel of a good size and quite luxurious. Because the owner is a local, he allowed them to stay there without a letter of introduction.
"Boss, are we going to participate in the competition tomorrow? Or?" Yan Shuhua asked about the competition.
"Don't call me boss all the time. My last name is Li, so you can just call me Lao Li." The boss was very enthusiastic, just like the atmosphere of this city, enthusiastic and smiling.
